How many razors do you have ?

In the subforum there is open topic about how many blades members have ( wow :w00t: ) , with that in mind
:

How many razors do you have , and how many of those you actualy have used ?


my answer :

as of last night

10 ( a very kind church member gave me 8 of his his old razors he doesnt use any more )

how many actualy used : 3 but shooting for all 10

what says you ?
 
I have 5 - I use the following 3 petty much every day, I rotate them:

Muhle R89
Gillette Red Tip E1 1959
Gillette Super Speed J4 1964


Two I have not yet used:

Gillette Super Speed J3 1964 ( with its case)
Gillette Fat Boy E1 1959
 
10.

6 that I use regularly: W1 Super Speed in case, Ball End Tech, H2 Slim in case, E2 Fat Boy, Vintage Merkur Slant, Vintage Bakelite Open Comb Slant.

Don't use my Ball End New in case, D1 Blue Tip in case, Fat Handle Tech in case, or unbranded German travel razor in case very often.

93 DEs and 3 SEs as of now.

I've used about 20 of the DEs to date - I was trying to catch up on purchases but a blade buy diverted me into trying different blades with a standard razor combination.

5 are travelling around Australia in the Aussie Travelling DE/SE Box

Another 5 are on loan to a mate.

20 are still in transit to me

1 will not be used - it is a mint NOS Aristocrat from my birth year for my son. :thumbup:

Do you think I have picked up a case of RAD since starting with DE in March? :lol:

Edit: Actually it is 95, I'd forgotten a couple I was given by my parents who found some in antique stores and nabbed them for me :)

I didn't think I would ever post that number but 0... I'm into straights now...
 
Six of my razors are broken. That can happen if you buy eBay lots with several razors jumbled together. At least they came with other razors that were good.

Non broken razors:
DE, 47, shaved with 34.
SE, 34, shaved with 28.
Injector, 33, shaved with 31.

And I have some cartridges and disposables too.
 
3 single ring Old types, from 1907, 1917 and 1918.
3 long comb NEWs
1 short comb NEW
2 New Improved
4 ball end Old types
1 Milady Old type
1 Minora open comb razor, similar head to a New Improved, handle like a single ring
1 Windex Old type clone
1 Myatt Old type clone
1 GI Old type clone
1 unidentified British Old type clone, unfortunately unusable
1 Big Ben open comb razor, head like an Old type
1 Muehle R89
1 Parker 98R
1 Parker 96R
1 Gillette Tech

I only use the open comb razors these days.

I got moves like Jagger
Merkur 38C (the nice pretty red handle matches my weepers)
Weishi with an untrustwortly gate (eeep!)
Gillete Sensor Excel (for ears and super lazy days)
Wapienica straight supposed to arrive today.

Right now the only one I use is the 38C, but hope to get up to speed with the Wapi soon.
 
5 - First three have been used, last two will be used within the next few weeks.

Schick Krona - First DE razor I tried
Merkur 23C - First DE Razor I purchased (from here)
1940's Gillette Ball End Tech - Father In Law purchased for me at yard sale

Gillette SuperSpeed G4
Gillette Fatboy H4
 
8

Weishi
Schick Krona
Gillette Gold Fat Handle Tech
Gillette Ball-End Tech
Gillette short travel Tech
Gem Open Comb Micromatic
Gillette Slim Adjustable
Stahly Live Blade
 
7 of which I regularly rotate through 5. In the regular rotation are:

2 Gillette Fat Boys, the production dates I forget.
1 Gillette British 500 HD
1 Gillette President

1 1964 Gillette Super Speed (stays at the office for when I do not go home)

In sentimental moments I'll use my birth year and quarter Gillette Super Speed.

The 7th is a cased 1949 Gillette Super Speed that does not get much use. I cannot decide whether to keep it or put it up on the B/S/T board.

24, and I'm trying to get that number down to between 10 and 15 if possible. If you'd have asked two weeks ago, the number would have been higher. I've been selling a lot on the BST lately.
 
i have and use all 3 of my straight razors.... i used to have 5 more but i sent them to get honed and they never made their way back :(
